Happy reorg! We`ll send someone after you if we don`t hear from you!
 
I had an uber-productive yardwork morning, the kind that is only possible when you`re procrastinating paperwork. It was so great. I loaded the deck wood rack, cleared the new floor and wood racks in the shed, loaded the shed with all the stuff I`d pulled out, including pulling out the ancient tools people gave us for housewarming and sorting for functionality. Everything fit back in nicely and I need to deal with the box of birdhouse parts and the box of paints, and then those will be clear. I put the coolers out there for now but don`t know if that`s sustainable.
 
That gave me enough space to clear a bunch of the stuff leaning against the deck, which is now safely under the deck. So it`s just our bikes out there now. Still need to deal with the recycling and do some gardening and clear the rest of the tumbleweeds and move the brush. But it looks OMG so much better out there right now.

I've done two loads of laundry and had groceries delivered. Right now I'm browsing clothing in 4T Girls because I need to buy my niece a birthday present, and putting together a Christmas list for my family. Sometime soon, I'm going to make kale chips.

wish I was in LA, so could organize with ita.

I packed up 3 more video games for trade. I like how this is working, have gotten rid of like 9 and thus far, only have one coming in.

Since we are trapped inside for a while, I think I will list some things for sale on ebay and craigslist. btw if any Buffistas were thinking of Guitar Hero for Christmas, I have stuff for PS2 and would rather sell to y'all than strangers.

OK, second floor and kitchen mopped. AND I got all my scraping stuff off the counter (I'll still need it, but not every.single.night.)

Pooltime.

I'm getting the pig!

Suzi, I vote for productivity. You'll feel all accomplished and shit. I think the gingerbread spice tea was a Celestial Seasonings brand so I'll look at the local grocery store for it. SuperTarget does not have it - at least not the one up on HR pkwy.

I hope msbelle and Mac are safe and not dealing with a tornado.

DH has been cleaning up the basement (AKA TheManCave) and I've been busy sweeping, mopping, suck-monstering, de-cluttering drawers and cabinets and dusting.

With the cleaning going on downstairs and upstairs, the cats are pissed. Lack of safe hiding spaces! Ack!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Don't get swept away, msbelle!

Yay for your kid-free weekend, Jess!

Go, the rest of you productive people!

I have not done shit. But I do have a question for our sewing-istas. Over the summer, I put a sheet over my sofa, for coolness and anti-cat-claw-ruining. So I don't really want the sheet to be the permanent solution. And it's an odd shape (I think it's supposed to be a sectional), so I don't think I could even buy a slipcover. So, the upshot is, can I really just buy say three yards of this for three dollars, and have that work?? (It seems too cheap and easy...)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Productiveness hasn't happened yet. I should see if I can jump start that.

Booze question. Last night I ran the bar out of Canadian Club. If I go back to the same place to watch the game tonight, should I expect to order something else?

I would guess so? But maybe they do make deliveries/restock/etc on Saturdays.

you could buy fabric and tuck it in as a cover, but BLACK!??! with Homer?!?! That is like the most labor intensive to keep looking good.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I sew but I'm not so good on all the different types of fabric without going to a fabric store. I can't remember what poplin feels like. Surely it's cheaper to throw some fabric on than to get a slipcover, I'm sure. [link]

Napping at 6pm = staying up 'til 7am. I was up recording and editing a podcast commercial for my album. Not entirely satisfied with it but if I don't just stop, I'll never get it done and turned in. I've already procrastinated for months.

Tonight is South Pasadena's ArtWalk with galleries, music and food trucks. I'll be hanging out there unless I'm passed out from my stupid sleep being turned around.

Congrats to those who got to sleep in today, esp those who don't get to do it often.
